June 2006 Since the end of apartheid, thousands of white South Africans have been forced into poverty. They blame the government's positive discrimination policies, which favour black employees. Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life. Now, many are dependent on charity handouts. "We are fighting all the time to survive." The government is determined to see the workforce appropriately reflect the population. It gives black people priority in employment, sets 'black quotas' for businesses and favours companies owned by black people. But critics accuse the government of neglecting its responsibility to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic that a government that fought racial laws is now doing exactly the same thing."

yeah, it's their turn to go to the dark half of the moon where the sun doesn't shine, just like europe did. But it seems like they are taking quite a long time to come back out from the dark side. Thats even after factors such as foreign intervention is not as pronounce for some countries on the continent.

I do not believe that Mandela sings hate songs. If that's true please send me a link of evidence that's not cited from a KKK website. And a white person has never committed a crime in South Africa? No white person has ever raped anyone or murdered anyone in South Africa? That's amazing! The whites are barricaded in their homes? Then how did that newscaster get the courage enough to come out and interview people? Why were those whites smoking in a park? They must have been painted blacks.

it is a make belief that "every single white person in the African continent is rich" this documentary is a rare footage breaking the 'brainwash'; it is particulary about Poor Whites living in South Africa. Did you at least read the title of the story?

jackass2300: Wow are you well-named! She is asking about white poverty because the South African government has made it illegal to hire white people. It isn't as if the blacks don't count---they get hired just for being black, no matter what their qualifications are! Zoe Daniel is not the dumb bitch; I'd like to nominate someone else...

Das is richtig! Poverty and inequality are only solved with education...

And the Bantus can go back to East Africa, whence they came as well. Were you aware that the Zulus only arrived in natal about the same time as the whites did at the Cape? Clearly, you were not...

You are mean, and a shameful example of a "Christian." Why don't you locate this woman and try to do something for these people instead of laughing at their situation? What kind of a snake-handling denomination do you belong to anyway?

Xakryn. Because foods that cause obesity are cheaper than foods that don't. So macaroni and bread are cheaper than steak and salmon. That is why governments push high carb food pyramids and other grain based diets on their populaces, because it is cheaper to feed them.

You don't see whites mixing with blacks because 1.7 million people (including infants) are raped in South Africa every year, because 50,000 people (including infants) are murdered every year, and because the blacks sing songs about killing white people at their rallies (including Mandela himself). And the perpretrators just happen to be black. The white people are barricaded in their homes. They have to drive across the street to buy a newspaper.

They are focusing on whites because it is government sponsored discrimination. It is against the law for these people to receive benefits or to be employed. Because the Black Economic Employment program (BEE) is a legal means of discriminating against whites.
